Confessions of a PYP Teacher
This podcast is for any teacher who is seeking for ways to enrich the learning in their classroom without breaking the bank. We will explore the simple steps on how to turn the traditional learning experience into one founded on practices of the PYP in 10 to 20 minute episodes. The PYP is part of the International Baccalaureate program, which focuses on developing the whole child by allowing students to create their own meaning from learning. If you’re not a PYP teacher, don’t worry. We’ll be sharing ideas that can be applied to your learning setting, because good practice can be used anywhere. https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com/podcast

C107: The Commonality of the Human Experience
As I mentioned in my last episode, I was able to interact with many of my eduheroes last week, including Stephanie Harvey. What a firecracker! She is not only quite intelligent and articulate, but she has a fire within the language development for all learners. Something that stayed with me was Writeacide; to die a death of writing worksheets.
How do we get learners to write authentically from their hearts? It’s certainly not from worksheets. Steph shares that inquiry in literature comes from curiosity, comprehension, collaboration, and content. Isn’t that just beautiful? She continues to state that “Inquiry is not always about a final product at the end..it is living in a way that all questions matter…because the more you learn, the more you wonder…and our role is to fan the flame of curiosity.”
Let's learn how to fan the flame of curiosity together!
